Spicy foods, salt, and my salsa recipe

November 3, 2017

Good news for spicy food lovers. It my help you to reduce your salt intake according to an article from Live Science. In many American diets, any reduction in sodium is most likely beneficial. Packaged and many processed foods tend to have high salt content per serving. Help to reduce your taste for salt by using my delicious and spicy Salus Update Salsa (almost a spread) recipe:

What you’ll need:

Two handfuls of your favorite hot pepper (I use jindungo peppers. They look like habanero peppers, but red in color with different taste)

4-6 green serrano peppers (for flavor and adds a little green color)

2-4 garlic cloves

1/2 small onion (your favorite kind: white, yellow, red)

Extra virgin olive oil

1/2 teaspoon Himalayan salt

Baking sheet lined with foil

2 table spoons of vinegar or lemon juice

Small food processor

Plastic gloves [caution: DO NOT HANDLE THE BAKED PEPPERS WITH BARE HANDS. The oils from the pepper can be very hot (spicy) if you touch your face or eyes after handling]
